LSU To Use Mobile Ticketing In '20 Season For Contactless Transactions

The LSU athletic department "will use mobile ticketing" for the '20 football season in a move "aimed to create contactless transactions at Tiger Stadium and reduce risk of transmitting coronavirus," according to Brooks Kubena of the Baton Rouge ADVOCATE. LSU is "still planning to play football with fans inside Tiger Stadium during a pandemic that has recently hit a surge in Louisiana." The details on just how many fans "will be allowed in Tiger Stadium are still being worked out." LSU said that football tickets "will be distributed through mobile delivery and accessed by ticketholders through digital wallets on smartphones." The mobile tickets "will be delivered to fans through email beginning in late August." There will be "no physical season ticket books or paper tickets." Print-at-home tickets also have been "discontinued for the year." If a ticketholder doesn't have a smartphone, they will be "able to request their tickets through alternative options through an online assistance form" (Baton Rouge ADVOCATE, 7/30).
